Women's Bar Association of Massachusetts and Women's Bar Foundation of Massachusetts

The Massachusetts Women's Bar Association and Foundation collaborate as sister organizations, unified in their mission to enhance the lives of women across the Commonwealth. The Women’s Bar Association (WBA) serves as a vital hub for female attorneys in Massachusetts, fostering essential personal and professional connections. Our aspiration is to cultivate a robust network of women lawyers who significantly impact both the legal profession and society at large. At WBA, we are dedicated to ensuring that women participate fully and equitably in every social sphere. We firmly believe that a strong coalition of female lawyers plays an integral role in upholding justice within our communities. Our philosophy emphasizes shared challenges among women attorneys—a platform for mutual teaching and learning opportunities. We celebrate both individual successes and collective progress amongst women lawyers while striving to facilitate your journey toward personal development by offering valuable resources and connecting you with like-minded professionals passionate about law, women's issues, or societal change alike. As your primary resource for female legal practitioners in Massachusetts, we pave pathways toward growth together. On another front, the Women's Bar Foundation focuses on guaranteeing access to justice for low-income women by fostering a community devoted entirely to providing free legal aid alongside support services tailored specifically towards these individuals and families facing financial hardship. To effectively execute our programs successfully throughout this initiative; we actively enlist volunteer attorneys who undergo comprehensive training orchestrated by experts from all over the Commonwealth while establishing mentorship systems aimed at equipping them with needed guidance—ensuring top-notch assistance is delivered compassionately where it matters most.
